Eve Tagny

Artist

Eve Tagny is a Tiohtià:ke/Montreal-based artist. Her practice adopts a poetic approach to consider landscapes and gardens as sites shaped by cycles of rejuvenation tangled with the legacies of colonial expansion, capital accumulation, private ownership and human activity. Weaving lens-based media, installation, text and performance, she explores embodied expressions of grief and resiliency, in correlation with nature’s rhythms, cycles and materiality.
Tagny has a BFA in Film Production from Concordia University and a Certificate in Journalism from University of Montreal. Exhibitions and screenings include Westfälischer Kunstverein and Biennale für Freiburg, Germany; Somerset House, London; Henry Art, Seattle; Ames Yavuz and PHOTO Australia, Australia; Murate and Gucci Gardens, Italy; MNBAQ, MAJ, Momenta Biennale, MAC Montréal and Centre Clark, Montreal; VAC, Cooper Cole, Gallery 44, and Franz Kaka, Toronto.
